Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for discontinued operations, the impact of stock-based

compensation expense, acquisition related expenses, non-recurring professional fees in relation to litigation and other non-recurring

expenses, depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt discounts and equity issuance costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, interest

expense, income taxes and certain other non-cash items.

Below we have provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly

comparable GAAP measure, which is net loss.

We believe that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA

provides investors with a better comparison of our period-to-period operating results.

We exclude the effects of certain items when we

evaluate key measures of our performance internally and in assessing the impact of known trends and uncertainties on our business.

also believe that excluding the effects of these items provides a more comparable view of the underlying dynamics of our operations.

believe such information provides additional meaningful methods of evaluating certain aspects of our operating performance from period

to period on a basis that may not be otherwise apparent on a GAAP basis.

This supplemental financial information should be considered

in addition to, not in lieu of, our consolidated financial statements.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA

to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net loss.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity

with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that

affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the amounts of revenues

and expenses.

Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or

complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may

change in subsequent periods.

In applying these critical accounting policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate

assumptions to be used in making certain estimates.

Actual results may differ from these estimates.

We define critical accounting policies as those

that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and which may potentially result in materially different results under

different assumptions and conditions.

In applying these critical accounting policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the

appropriate assumptions to be used in making certain estimates.

These estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.

Business Combinations

Amounts paid for acquisitions are allocated to

the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition.

The fair value of identifiable

intangible assets is based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management, including expected future

We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets and liabilities acquired to goodwill.

intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives.

Acquisition-related costs, including advisory, legal, accounting,

valuation, and other costs, are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred.

The results of operations of acquired businesses

are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.

Goodwill and Intangibles

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price

over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination.

Goodwill and long-lived intangible assets are tested

for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of ASC No.

350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC No.

350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below

an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than

not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carry value.

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including

the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units,

and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.

We test goodwill annually in December, unless an event occurs that would cause

us to believe the value is impaired at an interim date.

See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for discussion

of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are

amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate

that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

We periodically evaluate whether the carrying

value of property and equipment has been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable.

The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual

disposition of the asset.

If the carrying value is not recoverable, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s

carrying value over its fair value.

Our impairment analyses require management to

apply judgment in estimating future cash flows as well as asset fair values, including forecasting useful lives of the assets, assessing

the probability of different outcomes, and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows.

If the carrying

value is not recoverable, we assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques, and may use more than one

method, including, but not limited to, recent third-party comparable sales and undiscounted cash flow models.

If actual results are not

consistent with our assumptions and estimates, or our assumptions and estimates change due to new information, we may be exposed to an

impairment charge in the future.

Debt with Equity-linked Features

We may issue debt that has separate warrants, conversion features,

or other equity-linked attributes.

Debt with warrants – When we issue

debt with warrants, we treat the warrants as a debt discount, record as a contra-liability against the debt, and amortize the balance

over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

The offset to the contra-liability is recorded as additional paid in capital in our consolidated balance sheets.

If the debt is retired early, the associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in

The debt is treated as conventional debt.

We determine the value of the non-complex warrants

using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) using the stock price on the date of issuance, the risk-free

interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the volatility of our stock.

For warrants with complex terms, we use the binomial

lattice model to estimate their fair value.

Convertible Debt - When we issue debt with

a conversion feature, we must first assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative.

conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, we estimate the fair value of the convertible

debt derivative using Black-Scholes upon the date of issuance, using the stock price on the date of issuance, the risk-free interest rate

associated with the life of the debt, and the estimated volatility of our stock.

Modification of Debt - When we change the

terms of existing notes payable, we evaluate the amendments under ASC 470-50, Debt Modification and Extinguishment to determine

whether the change should be treated as a modification or as a debt extinguishment.

This evaluation includes analyzing whether there are

significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the note.

If the change is deemed insignificant then the change is

considered a debt modification, whereas if the change is substantial the change is reflected as a debt extinguishment.

Equity-based Payments

We estimate the fair value of equity-based instruments

issued to employees or to third parties for services or goods using Black-Scholes or the Binomial Model, which requires us to estimate

the volatility of our stock and forfeiture rate.

Revenue Recognition

ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with

Customers” (“ASC 606”) requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services

to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, judgment and estimates may be required within the

revenue recognition process including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration

to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

The following five steps are applied to achieve

that core principle:

determine the value of the non-complex warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) using the

stock price on the date of issuance, the risk-free interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the volatility of our stock.

For warrants with complex terms, we use the binomial lattice model to estimate their fair value.

Debt - When we issue debt with a conversion feature, we must first assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to

be treated as a derivative.

If the conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, we

estimate the fair value of the convertible debt derivative using Black-Scholes upon the date of issuance, using the stock price on the

date of issuance, the risk-free interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the estimated volatility of our stock.

of Debt - When we change the terms of existing notes payable, we evaluate the amendments under ASC 470-50, Debt Modification and

Extinguishment to determine whether the change should be treated as a modification or as a debt extinguishment.

This evaluation includes
